Training Run

Distance: 3 miles
Time: 26:23
Pace: 8:47 min/mi

Comments: The plan was to run six miles yesterday and that didn't happen. So I was going to try that distance again today and only got half of it. This isn't a huge surprise given my diet yesterday; MEAT. Add to that the heat and an all-star performance wasn't in the cards.

The water has receded a bit around here but is still ridiculously high. I stopped to help about five turtles stuck in a construction area. I passed two others that got run over on the road. No snakes, thank goodness.

Training Run

Distance: 5 miles
Time: 44:58
Pace: 8:59 min/mi

Comments: So, wonder of wonders, the sun came out in beautiful clear blue skies today. The temperatures were even rather pleasant. But, despite the bonnie weather, the high water remained a problem. It was actually higher than yesterday as the waters from further north are moving down the watershed.

So my shoes got soaked as I forded a couple of spots. Since I was stopping to take photos they dried enough to not act like lead weights. The pictures from this run are here: http://imgur.com/a/68X2m

Overall a very reasonable effort. I got five miles in which was a nice change. I might even try for six tomorrow depending on how my legs feel.
